Need help?Do you have a question about the Avantco 224BHAC36 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for Avantco Refrigeration's Horizontal Open Air Merchandisers.
The Avantco Horizontal Open Air Merchandisers are designed to display and keep products cool. These units are intended for use in a temperature-controlled environment less than 75°F and 55% relative humidity. They are suitable for commercial settings, allowing customers easy access to chilled items. The refrigeration system maintains a temperature between 33°F and 40°F, ensuring food safety.
The manual covers several models:
These units operate on standard electrical voltage and require a grounded, properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate over-current protection. The unit should have its own dedicated outlet and not use extension cords. The electrical cord should not be resting on or against the electrical cord.
The refrigeration system is factory-set to run at optimum temperatures for food safety. The temperature is controlled by a digital system with "SET" and arrow buttons for adjustment. The display flashes the current minimum temperature when "SET" is held for 1 second. The cabinet temperature will fluctuate up to +5.4 degrees over the set minimum temperature as the compressor runs and shuts off. Setting the temperature too high will result in unsafe maximum temperatures and possible health code violations.
Installation: The unit must be placed on a strong and leveled surface. If the surface is uneven, the unit may be noisy. The unit should be installed in an indoor, well-ventilated area away from doors, air ducts, and fans. For best performance, maintain 6" of clearance on the back of the unit at all times. Do not use outdoors. Avoid direct sunlight.
High humidity can cause rust and decrease efficiency. Dust collected on the condenser coil may cause unit malfunction. Malfunction due to high ambient temperatures, humidity, or improperly maintained condenser coil will void the warranty.
The unit should be located away from heat and moisture-generating equipment. High ambient temperatures may cause the compressor to malfunction. Malfunction due to high ambient temperatures and humidity will void the warranty.
Adjusting the Temperature: The refrigerator is factory-set to run at optimum temperatures for food safety and should require no adjustments. Refrigerators are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of 33°F and a maximum temperature of 40°F.
To adjust the temperature, press the "SET" button to display the current minimum temperature. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the minimum temperature you want it to run at. Press "SET" again to save your settings.
Running a Manual Defrost Cycle: The unit is pre-programmed to run automatic defrost cycles at preset intervals. However, if you would like to run a manual defrost cycle at any time, press the defrost button (snowflake symbol and down arrow) for approximately 3 seconds. Repeat to stop the defrost cycle.
Defrost System: Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit). During compressor down-time, the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through the evaporator coil. This air circulation raises the coil temperature above the freezing point, melting any accumulated frost. Run-off water is drained into the evaporator pan and evaporated. Automatic defrost timers automatically initiate at pre-set intervals and for a pre-determined duration.
Loading Product: Do not block the air duct / fan at the top of the unit. Maintain a minimum of 4" of clearance between products and the fan at all times. Do not block return air flow in the front of the unit. Ensure all shelves are sitting level and properly secured before loading products. Do not store flammable and explosive gas or liquids inside the unit.
Cleaning the Condenser Coil: For efficient operation, keep the condenser surface free of dust, dirt, and lint. It is recommended to clean the condenser coil at least once per month. Clean the condenser with a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen equipment retailer.
Cleaning the Fan Blades and Motor: If necessary, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth. If it is necessary to wash the fan blades, cover the fan motor to prevent moisture damage.
Cleaning the Interior of Unit: When cleaning the cabinet interior, use a solvent of warm water and mild soap. Do not use steel wool, caustic soap, abrasive cleaners, or bleach that may damage the interior finish. Periodically remove the shelves and shelf brackets from the unit, and clean them with a mild soap and warm water.
